After reading some of the reviews on this camera I was a little worried about both the colour and picture quality. I have only used it a few times as yet, but have been very pleased with the quality and clarity of pictures produced.The camera is what it is, and does not pretend to be an SLR. Well worth purchasing for people who like to have images, but do not want the carriage of multi lenses and the weight of an SLR.

Replaced my Ixus 75 with this impressive camera, wide angle to full zoom, macro also. Canon have fitted everything I wanted into this so no complaints.
I was considering the TZ10 also but prefered the look of the SX210, obviously as I did noy buy the Panasonic I cannot make a direct comparason.
Flash really is no problem, If you need it it lets you know anyway and with its low level light abilities you can be better off with no flash.
I am no camera expert and really just point and shoot with the occasional experiment, this makes this camera ideal for me. I am sure it will impress most people, I took a picture of the moon last night with full 56 x zoom (on tripod) you can see the Craters !!
One thing If like me you like to show your pictures on a TV then do buy a HDMI mini to HDMI cable, the normal hook up cable provided with the camera is rubbish, but with an HDMI cable you will be very satisfied.
Go Purple, You will not be disapointed with this.

I’m in agreement with the generally positive reviews for the black version of this great little camera (Canon PowerShot SX210 IS Digital Camera – Black (14.1 MP, 14x Optical Zoom) 3.0 Inch PureColor LCD). Yes, the pop-up flash does take a little getting used to, but I generally keep it closed when I switch on, which avoids those embarassing unintended flashes indoors! It’s actually easy to hold it with your left index finger just behind the flash when it’s up, resting on the curve of the back panel.
The main reason for this review was about the colour. Like many others, I suspect, looking at the ads I thought “Purple – no way!”, but after seeing both the black and the purple “in the flesh” I was completely converted! The black seems washed out and “grubby”, but the purple was much more stylish – quite dark, almost maroon in some lights. Having bought it, I’m extremely happy with it. In any case, the monstrous zoom lens dispels any idea that this is just a fashion statement camera…
One slight oddity I’ve noticed – I know that normal images don’t fill the viewfinder (unless you use widescreen mode) and leave black bars either side – but what surprised me is that LCD panel doesn’t extend to the right side of the viewfinder window – if you display a widescreen image (or open the setup menu and turn up the brightness), you’ll see there’s an extra gap of about 5mm at the right-hand side which is “dead space”. In other words, they’ve made the viewfinder look bigger than it actually is. I suppose they didn’t need the extra space on the back panel for buttons, but it seems a bit sneaky to me, almost like putting a 36 inch LCD in a 40 inch TV!
